It was a good ride. Passed about 20 riders and about 3 passed me. Felt like the jacket slowed me a bit. Took right turn into business park too fast in aero position that forced me to brake hard. That cost me a few ticks.

Good dismount without crashing this year.
What would you do differently?:

Different shirt.
